The use of sweepstakes, contests, and marketing promotions has increased dramatically over the past few years – and understandably so. They create buzz about a product or service, generate web traffic, bolster e-mail lists and strengthen the relationship between companies and consumers. But no company should jump into sweepstakes without being aware of the myriad laws and regulations relating to these valuable marketing tools.
